Although Sony didn’t intend to have an E3 press conference this year, it looks like we have a big PlayStation event in June to look forward to nevertheless.
On June 4 at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET, there will be a special PlayStation 5 showcase to reveal the first PS5 games.
It will be about an hour long and feature both large studios and smaller ones. The PS5 itself is still planned for a holiday release.
I’m usually a bit behind when it comes to adopting new consoles, but maybe this showcase will include a must-play game that sends me out to get a PS5 at launch. Then again, I still remember nearly buying a PS4 at launch for The Order: 1886 before I decided to wait, and I never ended up playing that game at all. Either way, I hope to see some great games in the showcase!
(Should I consider this part of my Not-E3 coverage? E3 replacements are spread all across the month, which makes it a bit tricky to decide how to cover it.)
What are you hoping to see in the June 4 PlayStation 5 game showcase?
Wow, I completely forgot how excited you were for The Order: 1886. Talk about a blast from the past… Maybe you should play it to celebrate the release of the PS5 lol
I never even bought it, although I’d assume it goes on sale often enough.
I have no idea how I plan to cover “E3 2020”.
I suspect I won’t do anything special and it’ll just be covering news as it happens, as if it were any other month.
As for the PS5… meh.
I was originally planning to cover whatever E3 replacements were announced, but now we’ve got various game new events spread all throughout June.
My PS4 just kicked the bucket, made me more excited for the PS5 since it’s backwards compatible. Otherwise I’m feeling pretty much no hype for another new console. Maybe they will throw some big surprises our way though.
I’m hoping to see the next God of War announced, at least.
Announced and indefinitely delayed. Weak!

I updated my newer blog post that had mentioned it after I saw the postponement.
